Customer Question

Second opinion] I charged...

Second opinion] I charged a customer 10 a day to park at my parking facility. He brought his vehicle back the next week and never paid me for the parking. Two years later I still have the trailer. The tag is an Indiana tag. I know how to file abandonments in Georgia with Ga tags or vehicles without tags period. I cant pull a vehicle search in Ga because the tag is from Indiana. A customer found a registration tag which has the info for the owner. How can I file the abandonment?

Lawyer's Assistant: Can you tell me what state this is in? And do you know who owns the lot?

You will need to go through the court process in GA as that is where the car is located and your lien has accrued, but first you will need to send the notice to the last registered owner on the IN tags and you need to send it regular and certified mail with return receipt. If you get no response from the letter, you would have to file suit "in rem" against the vehicle and last registered owner for money due for parking and send a process server in IN to seek to serve the party and prove no service could be made to the court to allow you to then serve by mail and by publication in the IN papers. Once you do that, you can proceed in suit against the actual property, in rem, and can seek to collect your damages by seizure or obtaining ownership of the vehicle.
